The Russian lyrics, by the way, run along the lines of worshiping the violin and ecstasy and pain that come with playing it, while having to part with it forever afterwards. If I ever suspected Minaev of being "deep", I'd say that it is a nice allegory on the theme of star-crossed lovers.

It had some great and catchy songs and pretty good videos. After that - meh. I also like Michael’s "Faith" album. Michael has a good voice that quite frankly has been wasted on a lot of the material he's recorded. I enjoyed Minaev’s version even though I'm clueless about the lyrics.
